Columns
Column Type Description |
---|
Name of the database that contains the domain (always the current database) |
Name of the schema that contains the domain |
Name of the domain |
Data type of the domain, if it is a built-in type, or |
If the domain has a character or bit string type, the declared maximum length; null for all other data types or if no maximum length was declared. |
If the domain has a character type, the maximum possible length in octets (bytes) of a datum; null for all other data types. The maximum octet length depends on the declared character maximum length (see above) and the server encoding. |

Name of the database containing the collation of the domain (always the current database), null if default or the data type of the domain is not collatable |
Name of the schema containing the collation of the domain, null if default or the data type of the domain is not collatable |
Name of the collation of the domain, null if default or the data type of the domain is not collatable |
If the domain has a numeric type, this column contains the (declared or implicit) precision of the type for this domain. The precision indicates the number of significant digits. It can be expressed in decimal (base 10) or binary (base 2) terms, as specified in the column |
If the domain has a numeric type, this column indicates in which base the values in the columns |
If the domain has an exact numeric type, this column contains the (declared or implicit) scale of the type for this domain. The scale indicates the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point. It can be expressed in decimal (base 10) or binary (base 2) terms, as specified in the column |

An identifier of the data type descriptor of the domain, unique among the data type descriptors pertaining to the domain (which is trivial, because a domain only contains one data type descriptor). This is mainly useful for joining with other instances of such identifiers. (The specific format of the identifier is not defined and not guaranteed to remain the same in future versions.) |
